Developed at the request of the user community, Det-Pads provide a way of working near detonators with minimised fragmentation risk.
Detonators and the plastic moulded connectors for detonating cord are sources of fragmentation. For some specialist roles such as explosive breaching/EMOE, the circumstances can dictate that the operator is within range of this fragmentation.
Det-Pads mitigate the blast and massively reduce the energy of the fragmentation without impeding the function of the explosive elements contained within. Det-Pads are one of Blast Containment Systems.
The Det-Pads come in two sizes. Variant ‘A’ is the smaller and designed to enclose a single fragmentation source. The larger Det-pad Variant ‘B’ is designed to enclose two separated fragmentation sources.
For non-tactical roles where safety and the ability to number the sequence in which detonators have been isolated and removed, Det-Pads are also available in red with a white patch on which to write.
